I had a pair of aluminums in my previous boat. Engines were 50 years old and I had just rebuilt them. The PO had cruised that boat from the Great Lakes to Aussieland and back - during the same time that Jacques Cousteau was amazing us with his exploits. Reading the 3 inch thick ship's log was like reading a novel by Jules Vern.

Not sure I agree with that. I suffered some serious noise fatigue when out at sea for a week or more at a time. Perhaps a few thousand bucks worth of high tech sound insulation would have helped. Even performing engine room checks when underway did require putting on ear protection.
